Do you have twenty something music lover who is hard to buy for? Buy him/her vinyl! Vinyl is back in a big way, and more and more vinyl junkies are showing up at Record Store Day to get exclusive releases. Back to Black Friday is celebration of the local record store and the biggest shopping day of the year. Enjoy.

Usually Black Friday is a day about corporate greed and punching out moms at a Toys R Us for the last Super Deluxe Elmo with Detachable Combat Knife. If you’re tired of all that, stick it to “The Man” at Back to Black Friday. Over 1000 independently owned record stores participate in Record Store Day exclusives, and for a ton of these releases, Black Friday is going to be the only day you can get them. Sure, you could find a guy on Craigslist, drive two hours, meet him in his shady condo/meth lab, and possibly be sold into a prostitution ring, or you could just get up early on Black Friday, drive down to your local record store, and purchase the finest exclusive releases money can buy, while telling big corporate America to suck it. Enough talk, let’s get to the releases.
